<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>According to executives with two teams, the Knicks are discussing a swap of first-round picks with Portland. The Knicks would send the No. 6 pick, forward David Lee and another player to the Trail Blazers for the 13th and 27th picks and a player, possibly Steve Blake or Jarrett Jack.

"With a new regime, it's always a possibility at this time of year."</div> New York Post
